Canon K10158 manual Preparing your printer, Changing the BJ Cartridges

Preparing your printer

Depending on your printing needs, you may need to change the BJ Cartridge. To print in colour, install a Color BJ Cartridge BC-11e. To print a number of pages in black-and-white, install a Black BJ Cartridge BC-10.

For black-and-white print jobs, we recommend that you use the Black BJ Cartridge BC-10, not the Color BJ Cartridge BC-11e. The BC-10’s 128 nozzles deliver printing at higher speed.

Changing the BJ Cartridges

Follow the procedure below to change the BJ Cartridges. For example, before you print a long report full of black-and-white text, replace the Color BJ Cartridge BC-11e with a Black BJ Cartridge BC-10.

1.

2.

Check the printer POWER lamp and make sure that it is on. If the printer is off, press the POWER button to switch it on.

Press the CARTRIDGE button on the operation panel. The cartridge holder moves to the centre and the POWER lamp flashes.

If the print head is overheated, it may not move to the centre immediately. Wait a few minutes for the print head to cool down. Never attempt to move the cartridge manually by pushing it or pulling on the film cable.

3. Open the top cover.

Film cable

When the top cover is open, never touch the orange film cable inside the printer.
